Munchak's experience at the position might be attractive to owner Jimmy Haslam, who has deep ties to the state of Tennessee. Either way, Cleveland's list of candidates suggests that the team is married to landing an offensive-minded leader, possibly one willing to work with Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel.

The Brownsreportedly are displaying strong interest in drafting Johnny Football in May. After TheMMQB.com's Peter King wrote last month that "Cleveland really likes Johnny Manziel," CBSSports.com noted Saturday that team brass has not given up on landing Auburn's Gus Malzahn and pairing him with Manziel next season.
